I added a bit about "World of Color" to "Theater;" should it be moved to "Other"?

May I make a subpage of this kind for a series?

Should the anime movies be moved to the Film pages? Right now there's some anime movies which are listed in both Anime and Film pages with different descriptions, such as the Pokemon movies.

Is this basically "Describe the plot badly"?

What is the rule about False Dichotomies of characterization in Real Life entries?

The name of the Literature folder ("An Outdated Sort Of Media That Neglects All But One Of The Humans' Senses") is inexact and could just as easily apply to radio or silent film. Perhaps "Stories Communicated Via Arbitrary Symbols Printed On Fragile, Environmentally Unfriendly Material" or something along those lines?

I agree on both points however, I'll revise the "Environmentally Unfriendly Material" because I believe that to be a Critical Research Failure. I'll edit that new description for Literature for now.

Edited by 216.99.32.45 These two may literally be more bark than bite, but they are no less tenacious than everyone else.

Page full of gush or mere summary. Half the given examples don't even come close to fitting the trope. The examples are supposed to be clever ways of phrasing the concept of a show that make it seem less appealing that it actually may be. Major cleanup needed.

Also. Like, twenty SEPARATE examples for all the different Power Rangers shows? Get a hobby.

Right-

Skins: Undermotivated British teenagers do drugs and run up their cell phone bills

Heroes: A whole bunch of people with superpowers play recreational sports with the Idiot Ball

Wrong-

Rome: A drama about life in Italy, as seen through the eyes of two soldiers.

Bones: A gorgeous but socially clueless genius anthropologist solves murders involving really icky decomposition with a street-smart and equally gorgeous wisecracking FBI agent. UST ensues. They are helped by a socially retarded supergenius, a conspiracy-theorist slime expert, and a good-hearted, free-spirited artist.

No, the trope is meant to be only if it sounds less appealing than it actually is, even if the description is good. A good example is Katamari Damacy which in essence is using a sticky ball to roll up as many things as possible under the orders of a quirky king. This technically describes it well in concept but it definitely does not convey how awesome it really is. Your examples are clearly written in a manner that does not fit because they are deliberately weak descriptions.

The page is strictly Just for Fun. Lighten up, 86.149.122.105.
